Stanley Gibbons Announce Philatelic Congress Sponsorship Deal

Stanley Gibbons announce that details of a five year sponsorship package for the annual Philatelic Congress of Great Britain have been agreed.

London, United Kingdom, June 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Stanley Gibbons is pleased to announce that they have agreed to a deal to become headline sponsor of the ABPS Philatelic Congress of Great Britain and associated Roll of Distinguished Philatelists (RDP) Signing Ceremony for the next five years.

The company has provided annual support for Congress in one form or another for several years, including the inauguration of the "The Stanley Gibbons Cup" for the best paper presented during the event, which was introduced in 2010.

In addition to the provision of sponsorship funds, providing the Congress Committee and RDP Trust with financial security for the next five years, Stanley Gibbons is also sponsoring two drinks receptions during the four-day event; one on Friday 17th June following the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists Signing Ceremony and one on the Saturday evening prior to the prestigious Congress Banquet.

The company will continue to provide a keepsake Congress Cup as a supplement to the main cup which gets passed on each year and have produced goody bags for all attendees, worth more than £25 a bag.

Chris King, Keeper of the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists, said, "We are delighted that Stanley Gibbons are supporting both the Congress and RDP Ceremony. These arrangements will enable a venerable tradition to feel financially secure over the coming five years, in what continue to be uncertain economic times."
